I hope they plan to remove any references at the school to the year 2003, or to next year's class of 2004, or last year's class of 2003, or . . . Since the Nativity is considered of no historical significance, any reference to the widely accepted date scheme is no longer acceptable.

"They" would gripe less if the symbol of Christain choice was the Christmas tree, seeing as it was invented by Queen Victoria's consort, Price Albert (yep, the same guy as in the can)when he imported spruce trees from his native Germany, decorated them with live candles and used them as palace decoration for the Royal Family. So much easier than hauling those huge Yule Logs to the fireplace and keeping them burning for the 12 days of Christmas. Less smoke and mess too, unless the whole tree, room, house burned!

They already do. All "AD" dates are now refferred to as "CE", or "Common Era" while all "BC" dates are now "BCE", or "Before Common Era". in many school, achedemic, and collegant texts and classes. So now 2003AD, to a liberal forcing spew on children in class, is 2003CE. This way they don't have to acknowledge God or Jesus, but don't have to change too many things in life. They will, of course, keep the months unchanged since many of them refer to polythiest gods (so long as they are not Christian, the Left leaves them alone).

I'm not very religious (I keep God close in an armored, "Combat" Bible with metal plates in the covers that I wear over my heart and under body armor when deployed), but I do know these events were mentioned somewhere....... I think in that very same book I keep close and read from time to time.

This may be why every time I read about the left, and the world socialist governments, attacking Christians and the Christian religion, I want to buy ammo and food, dig a deep hole, and wait for four guys on horses?
